Aoudad Hunting In Texas

Texas Public Land

Description

Aoudad hunting could once only be done in the mountain ranges of North Africa, but today the best opportunities are found in Texas. The aoudad, aka the Barbary sheep, was brought to America about sixty years ago. It was released into the wild and immediately adapted to its new environment: the steep, arid mountains of the Trans-Pecos. Today it’s an enormously popular game animal, and many consider this to be the best sheep hunt in the U.S.
When you hunt with this outfitter, you gain access to over a quarter of a million acres of private land ranging across half a dozen ranches in three counties. This land has one main purpose: being the perfect aoudad hunting ground. The rugged mountains are very similar to the Barbary sheep’s original home of North Africa, and this is a true free-range hunt. You won’t be disappointed by the challenge, the trophy, or the beauty of your surroundings. Add to that the fact that it’s much more affordable than most other sheep hunts and you have a nearly perfect hunting experience!
Hunting AoudadThis outfitter boasts a success rate of almost 100%, and the rams bagged by their clients average 30 inches—half again the 20 inches often considered normal for the species! It’s no surprise that this outfitter has been featured in numerous hunting magazines and TV shows.
This family-owned outfitter maintains such a high success rate by spending enormous amounts of time in the field every year, keeping tabs on the best hunting spots so that you can go directly to the finest trophy rams. This is their profession, not just something they do on the side, and they are devoted to providing you with the best experience, the best memories, and the best trophies possible. The effort they put into client satisfaction is demonstrated by the fact that 4 out of 5 clients return to hunt with them again.
Lodging
Since this outfitter covers such a large area, there’s a variety of lodging facilities. Recently, renovations have been made on many of the lodges to provide you with the most comfortable stay possible, with private bedrooms, full bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, central air conditioning and heating and satellite TV. At other times, you may stay in ranch houses or motels that are closer to the best trophy rams; wherever you stay, you can rest assured that the facilities will be comfortable and clean.
